  • Patent number: 11671913
    Abstract: Systems and methods allow access stations to save power when no user equipment (UE) devices require service from the access station. The access station may enter a low power-consumption mode (or “sleep mode”) when the access station is inactive. The access station transmits a beacon signal when in the low power-consumption mode to indicate to UE devices in a coverage area of the access station that the access station is in the low power-consumption mode. The access station receives a wake-up signal from a device and, in response, exits the low power-consumption mode.

  • Patent number: 11665555
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may transmit, to a base station, a control message indicating a capability of the UE to identify and report a reciprocity parameter between downlink communications and uplink communications of a channel between the UE and the base station. In some examples, the base station may request a reciprocity report from the UE. The UE may identify a reciprocity parameter based on one or more parameters associated with an array of antennas at the UE. The reciprocity parameter may indicate a reciprocity between an uplink beam and a downlink beam, such as a degree of overlap between the uplink beam and the downlink beam. The UE may report the reciprocity parameter via a reciprocity report to the base station. In some examples, the base station may identify one or more parameters based on the reciprocity report.

  • Patent number: 11665645
    Abstract: An information handling system wirelessly interfaces with a peripheral device, such as a keyboard or mouse, through primary radios that have a communication protocol, such as Bluetooth. Secondary radios interface with their associated primary radio to provide a low power wake and sleep using wake and sleep signals sent between the secondary radios. A sleep command communicated through the primary radios is acknowledged with the secondary radios to confirm operation of the secondary radios before a subsequent wake command transmits while in the sleep state.

  • Patent number: 11638150
    Abstract: A method and system to facilitate session continuity where a user-plane function (UPF) serves user-equipment devices (UEs) and communicates with a transport network by default through a first firewall. As each of various ones of the UEs establishes a respective TCP session via the first firewall, the UPF determines if the UE is likely to engage in latency-sensitive communication, such as if the UE is a Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communication (URLLC) device and if so causes the first firewall to record the UE's TCP session 5-tuple to a centralized data storage. Thereafter when the UPF switches to use a second firewall instead of the first firewall (e.g., because the first firewall goes out of service), the UPF causes the second firewall to get from the centralized data store the TCP session 5-tuple of each such UE, for access-control use by the second firewall, to help provide session continuity.

  • Patent number: 11617174
    Abstract: A system for monitoring cellular communications including a passive sensor device, processors, and memory devices. The memory devices having instructions that cause the processors to identify active downlink channels using a first radio to monitor each channel in a cellular spectrum and store downlink channel information, including configuration data, for each of the identified active downlink channels. The processors identify active uplink channels using a second radio to monitor each channel in the cellular spectrum and store uplink channel information for each of the identified active uplink channels. The processors correlate one of the active uplink channels with a corresponding active downlink channel and tune a third radio to the active uplink channel using the configuration data for the corresponding active downlink channel. The processors also tune a fourth radio to the active downlink channel corresponding to the at least one active uplink channel using the corresponding configuration data.
